Zonein Timer vs Easel

Zonein is a minimal focus timer that hides time while you work. No stats. No streaks. No gamification. Just a beautiful timer that gets out of your way. How it works: - Set your focus duration and tap Start - Time disappears — you see only "Focus" and a subtle ambient animation - Tap the amber button to briefly peek at remaining time, then it fades back into fog - When focus ends, a gentle sound and haptic notify you - Rest countdown begins automatically - After rest, you're back to the start — ready for another round Features: - Focus & Rest two-phase timer - Time hidden during focus with fog-reveal effect - Organic aurora animation - Customizable focus (5–120 min) and rest (1–60 min) durations - Sound and haptic feedback - Light and dark mode with warm material palette - Background timer with local notifications - Zero data collection, zero accounts, zero internet Zonein is not a productivity tool. It's a ritual.

Easel turns focus into something you look forward to. Choose how long you want to concentrate. As your timer runs, a genuine masterpiece slowly emerges from the fog, painted from the center outward. When you finish, the painting is fully revealed and yours to keep in your personal gallery. No feeds. No noise. Just you, your work, and a quiet moment with a great painting. WHY EASEL A calmer way to focus. The reward is not a buzzing notification. It is a beautiful work of art, appearing only if you see your session through. Real masterpieces. Every painting is a genuine public domain work from the great museums, by artists like Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Turner, and Vermeer. Single sessions or full Pomodoro cycles. Focus once, or run classic Pomodoro blocks with breaks and earn a painting for each one. Your personal gallery. Every completed session adds its painting to a collection that grows with your focus. Focus with intention. Choose a collection to focus with, from serene landscapes to old master portraits. Quiet company. Optional ambient piano, drawn from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, plays gently while you work. Beautiful on every device. Widgets bring a painting of the day to your home and lock screen. Easel is free, made by one person, with a small tip jar for anyone who wants to support it. No subscriptions, no ads, no pressure. Focus. Reveal. Keep.
